The Salvation Army says it is close to opening an 80-bed shelter for homeless men in Leslieville near Queen and Leslie streets. Metro News says nightly shelter occupancy in Toronto has increased by about 11 per cent in the last four years with many local shelters said to be operating above capacity. No reason was given for that. An open house for more information on the shelter will be held Saturday, January 16 at the Toronto Fire and EMS Training Centre at 30 Knox Ave. from 1 to 3 p.m..
